General Instructions
If a book comes with accompanying material, it will stay with the book. This includes CDs, DVDs, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, cassettes, disks, maps, pamphlets, etc. The format is irrelevant; all accompanying formats will stay with the book.
Place an Accompanying Material flag in the book.
For stand alone materials, see the relevent documentation:
CDs: For staff or for students
CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs
Note: Until March 2012, CD- and DVD-ROMs stayed with the book while CDs and DVDs (and disks, tapes, etc) were separated from the book and shelved in Media or the stacks.
